Sanchez celebrates with Chile team-mate Esteban Paredes after scoring against Venezuela in midweek

"I'd like to stay in the city but with a team that is winning things, that has a winning mentality.

"I'm 28 years old, I still have a lot of years ahead of me. I am a player who looks after himself."

Sanchez is reportedly on the radar of Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich. The uncertainty over his Arsenal future runs in tandem with the confusion over manager Wenger, who is yet to announce whether he will agree to the new two-year deal, which is reportedly currently on the table.
